Mikias Sanders '21 Recruiting Profile

I am adopted from Ethiopia so soccer was a sport I grew up playing. When I lived there we used to play all the time in the streets. Since I have been here I have always played soccer it’s the biggest passion I have. I get exited when we win tournament or big games and every time we don’t win and/or I just do bad I get disappointed at my self and work even harder to do better next time. I have always wanted to play soccer in college and play pro. I am a hard worker and will put in whatever it takes to make the program better. I do cross country and track for soccer so I will be better out on the pitch. What I lack in size i make up with speed,skills and just all around knowledge of them game. I have played with college students and I know I can compete with anyone,and would be a big part in whatever team I play on. I always have the mindset of thinking I am the best out on that pitch which allows me to always play my best. My playing style is play making I am able to creat a lot of chances for the team.
